1900 visit. Straight off the vintage bus and in here, but no new ales tonite. (Was not impressed at having to leave my bag of Dark Star Brewery "goodies" outside the main doors with the doormen here this evening)?

2230. Two new ales sampled.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Edinburgh Strong Ale | 6.40 | | Not bad at all. Lots of deep notes in this one. |
| Shepherd Neame - Sam Adams Blonde Ambition (superseded by 4.5% version) | 5.50 | | Not sure on this "collaboration". Fruit apparent but not much else. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Exe Valley - Autumn Glory | 4.50 | | Another winner, very nice, and not part of the festival. |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | Light and very citrusy type. |

28 Oct 2010 (Alenomore)
2230 and only one new festival ale on tonite.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Lion Stout | 5.00 | | Not too bad. Would have given it a 5* rating if it was stronger and more roasted. The same beer that I've had in Europe, is far better than this version. I'm not impressed with some of these "guest" brewers using UK breweries to replicate there beers. |

| Woodforde's - Once Bittern | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
